Rodney Holeman wasn't looking to become a small-business owner after he was laid off from Boeing in 2002.But that's what he's done, in a gradual process that started the year after leaving the aircraft manufacturer and going to work at Vern Classen Construction. That company morphed into Interior Trends in 2006, and Holeman has bought out its owners over the past two years.
"I've been enjoying it," he said. "It's been a challenge to see all the different aspects of running a small business, all the decisions that have to be made such as advertising and the administrative needs that I didn't see before."Interior Trends specializes in remodeling kitchens and baths and window replacements. It's done basement refinishes and other jobs as well through the years.
"We can do any kind of remodeling, we just don't build new ones," Holeman said.Holeman worked as a machinist at Boeing for 30 years, but he also had experience remodeling homes with his father as a young man. He went to work for Vern Classen as a lead carpenter.Classen and Shelly Rogers joined forces to start Interior Trends, and made Holeman production manager.
